DP tuner install....no start!

I'm helping a friend install a DP Tuner on his 95 PSD F250. After getting it installed, No start. His WTS light will come on but when he goes to crank, nothing. We took everything back out, recleaned the circuit board, and still the same thing. we removed the chip to see if it was something to do with it, and still no start.
anyone?

It turns over right? Make sure you have the cable in right side up on the selector. If I recall right, that happened to me. She'd crank but not fire.

did you take the PCM out of the truck or try to do it trough the hole behind th e-brake?

i think if the keys are just in the ignition, the pcm is in wake up mode wich means it is live.

no it does not crank. when you cycle the key, you can hear the fuel system prime. but no turnover what so ever.

He's picking up a code reader today to see if it has connectivity with the PCM. If not, i guess he'll be looking for a new one. The guy hasnt worked on many vehicles and i should watched him a little closer. I guess thats how you learn right?

sounds like he did it to me... what happens if you disconnect the batteries for a few hours and then reconnect them? that should kill the PCM's power and reset it, but if the PCM is dead it won't make a difference.
